Shoot RAW on your Phone
Record 10-bit or 12-bit RAW with CinemaKit as Magic Lantern Video (.MLV), CKRAW or CinemaDNG. Uncompressed Bayer sensor data with maximum dynamic range.
Drag & Drop into Studio
Open studio.cinemakit.app on any desktop browser (Chrome, Edge, Brave). Zero installation. Drag clips directly from your drive or phone transfer.
WebGPU Realtime Color Grading
Grade with 32-bit float accuracy: exposure, highlight recovery, white balance, anamorphic desqueeze, 3D LUTs, and live GPU scopes.
Export ProRes or Raw DNG
Render full-res Apple ProRes 422/4444, HEVC, H.264, or export pristine uncompressed DNG stills frame-by-frame — completely client-side.
From capture to final export.
Color grading
Adjust exposure, white balance and curves, apply LUTs and use a 32-bit floating point workflow with GPU scopes and noise reduction.
Projects & library
Create a project and drop your files in. Hover a clip to preview it, then sort and rate clips to organize a shoot. Stabilization and batch export continue the workflow.
Local processing
Studio reads and processes video files on your computer. Your footage stays local instead of being uploaded to a processing server.
Export formats
Export CinemaDNG, ProRes or web-native video codecs. Available export options and performance depend on your browser and hardware.
Browser & GPU requirements
Use a desktop browser with WebGPU enabled and a compatible GPU. Chrome, Edge and Brave are starting options; support depends on browser version, operating system and GPU drivers. Large RAW clips need sufficient memory and storage.
Develop
The Develop panel
Every adjustment lives in one panel, applied to moving footage the way a photo editor applies it to a still.

- Curves
- Shape contrast and tone precisely with curves.
- Masks
- Limit an adjustment to part of the frame.
- RAW denoise

- Crop, stretch & rotate
- Reframe, straighten and desqueeze anamorphic footage.
- Filters

- Frame interpolation
- Create new in-between frames.
- Depth & refocus
- Add depth of field for a more cinematic image when the shot has too little of it.
- Lighting
- Adjust the lighting of a shot.
- Stabilization
- Smooth out camera shake.
- Detail & effects
- Detail and finishing effects.
- Clip specs
- The technical details of each clip.
Three ways to export
CinemaDNG
Shown for RAW footage only. It exports the RAW data itself, so adjustments made in Studio are not applied.
ProRes
Encoded on the CPU, so it is often fastest on a Mac.
Native codecs
The formats your browser and operating system provide. Options marked HW are hardware accelerated and export faster.
Shoot with CinemaKit. Finish with Studio.
Record RAW footage on your phone, transfer the files to your computer, then open them in Studio. You can also review and grade directly in CinemaKit when you want to stay on your phone.
